How to Make Vegan Chocolate Cake


How to Make Vegan Chocolate Cake

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

Cake is a favorite dessert for many people, often for special occasions, like birthdays, or just as a tasty treat. The only problem is that cake can be a very fattening dessert, unless you have a healthy recipe like this one, for a vegan chocolate cake.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups flour (white- or half white and half whole wheat)
  • 4 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 cup white sugar, or a sugar substitute, that has been finely ground in a food processor
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 5 tablespoons apple puree
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup warm water

Steps

  1. Grease the cake pan lightly. Since there is no oil in this recipe, it will stick if you skip this step.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees C).
  3. In a large bowl, stir all of the dry ingredients together (the first 6 on the list).
  4. In a separate bowl, mix all or the wet ingredients.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, in two equal amounts, while mixing well after each addition, but be careful not to over mix. Just make sure there are no big lumps in the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Since ovens vary, the cake is done when it has risen to double its size, and springs back up if you press on it. Stick a toothpick in the cake to check if it is fully baked. If the toothpick is removed dry, it is ready to eat.
  8. Remove the cake from the pan after it has cooled for 5 minutes. This will be easy if you oiled the pan.
  9. Enjoy a healthy slice of delicious vegan chocolate cake!

Tips

  • You can enjoy the cake as it is, but if you'd like a healthy frosting, try spreading Greek yogurt and raspberries on top for added taste.

Warnings

  • Be careful not to burn yourself when using the oven.

Things You'll Need

  • Bowls
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • A blender, or food processor
  • An oven
  • A cake pan

An Alternative To Gelatin For Vegetarians Author: Jesus Smay Gelatin serves both nutritional and culinary roles in nonvegetarian diets; however, a lot of vegetarians and all vegans do not consume gelatin in its many forms because it is often created out of boiled pig skins and dissolved veal cartilage and bones. This leaves vegetarians with a gap in cooking functionality when a recipe calls for a gel or thickening agent. It also leaves vegetarians with fewer options if they need a source of gelatin to increase bone and cartilage health. If you are a vegetarian and you are looking for something to replace gelatin, do not despair. Here are some alternative options for you: Use a rice starch alternative. A&B Ingredients recently developed a rice starch alternative to gelatins that mimics the cooking functionality of gelatins closely. Use a soy-based alternative. Soyfoods USA developed NuSoy Gel, a gelatin alternative which was created entirely out of of soy isoflavones a...

5 Vegetarian Recipes for Breakfast Author: Danielle Tucker Starting the day off right is essential no matter what kind of food you like to eat.  While many people think of only cereal with milk or bacon and eggs as breakfast foods, those who don't eat animal proteins find those ideas unappealing.  Does that mean you are relegated to salads for breakfast if you are a vegetarian ?  Absolutely not!  Recipes for great breakfasts, whether you eat eggs or not, are easy to make and tasty too. Breakfast Burrito The easiest of recipes, this one can be adapted easily to a vegan palate as well.  Fry up some garlic and onions in a saucepan.  Add some chopped extra firm tofu, chopped tomatoes and peppers, or any other veggie you like.  Fry until the veggies are tender.  Salt and pepper to taste and then splash on some Tabasco sauce if you like it hot.  Wrap the filling in sprouted grain tortillas and top with soy or regular cheese and sour cream.  You can make several of these at one time a...

Recipe for a Healthy Life Author: Leah R. Williams Experts say there are two basic categories of foods that can be seen as nutritious food that help keep off the pounds. Which are the fruits and vegetables and nutrients that give our bodies that resistance? If fruits and vegetables are the "food group nutrients that help "keep-it-off", does fiber play in the maintenance of super-nutrients?  Protein is another super-nutrient. It has become more scientifically accepted that protein may help reduce appetite. The protein also provides little resistance and can increase metabolism in the process. But it is imperative that you choose your proteins wisely, because like all other foods, if you eat more than your body needs, it will appear in the scale as a gain rather than a loss. If you're trying to lose weight, eating fresh food is vital to plan for weight loss. Also, eating fruits and vegetables help hair, skin and teeth stay attractive and healthy. And when you think a...
